I was raised strict Baptist. I personally desire to expose my daughter to many different religions and I want her to choose for herself what is best for her. I will teach her my core beliefs but I want to make certain that she is willing and able to examine every belief (even my own) for herself. I have exposed her to a number of churches already (she is only 3) and I have talked with her and some of her friends about what they believe. She is too young to even realise that there is a difference between what her mom believes and what her best friend's mom thinks. I want to give her the stability of one church where she can make friends. Children thrive best on stability. In the process though I want very much to make sure that she knows she cannot just swallow what ANYONE tells her to believe. Even if she were to choose a religion she will be more sure of what she believes if she chooses for herself.
Stability first, multiple exposures second - that is my plan.
